CVS ext "Unknown response received from cvs server:" [message #334886] Fri, 06 March 2009 16:49 Go to next message

I'm trying to build an Eclipse development workstation with old versions
of things (various external versions need to match-up), so I'm on Eclipse
3.2.1.

Although I'm able to check-out files from CVS via win-cvs, and am able to
execute command line:

H:\>cvs -d:ext:.@chv0ww13-ecmgt:/eComergent ls
Listing modules on server

CVSROOT
Release
...snip...

In Eclipse, I have created an "ext" connection method with parameters
{host} {user} (without the -l), but when I try to add a cvs repository in
Eclipse, I'm getting "Unknown response received from cvs server:" (nothing
else in the message - logging below).

From what I've been reading, and from my experience, these plugins tend to
be version sensitive, so:

Eclipse:
Installed from eclipse-SDK-3.2.1-win32.zip, 126,664,403 bytes
Version: 3.2.1
Build id: M20060921-0945

CVSNT:
Installed from WinCvs2_0_2-4.zip, 3,615,653 bytes
"cvs -version" says 2.0.51d

I have located these threads, but it is not resolved:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform/msg39 675.html
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform/msg33 296.html

If it weren't for the last guy at this desk apparently getting this to
work, I probably wouldn't be trying this hard.

Below is the log from when I try to create the new repository.

Hi Dale,

Have you tried doing the same thing with a newer Eclipse build? Do you get
the same exception with it?

First thing I notice is the odd usage of the cvs root.

The format of the cvs root is :<connection method>:<repo owner>@<host
machine>:<path to repo>

Is your repository owner really named '.'?

Hi
warming up this topic... Smile

I just wanted to import a project from a cvs repository on the server.
I selected File | Import..., then opened "CVS and selected "Projects from CVS",
clicked "Next" and added the following data in the dialog:
Host: aim-cvs.uzh.ch
Repository path: /home/aim-cvs/jody/cvs
User: jody
Password: <my password>
Connection type: ext

Then clicked "Next" and entered "progs/laplace" under "Use specified module name".

When i then click "Next", i get a dialog saying "Unknown response received from cvs server:" and nothing else.

From my command line i can check out that project like this:
$ CVSROOT=:ext:jody@aim-cvs.uzh.ch:/home/aim-cvs/jody/cvs cvs co progs/laplace


I am working on gentoo linux 2.6.38-r6.

My cvs version is
$ cvs --version

Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.12 (client/server)

Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
(i emerged it with the USE flag "server")

My eclipse is version 3.5.1

Can anybody tell me how i can get this working?

Thank You
Jody

Follow up:
for a short time there is some text visible above the progressbar
in the dialog "Checkout from CVS" when clicking on "Next" after
a module has been specified: "Looking for a remote meta file: Receiving server response"

Have you noticed anything suspicious in CVS Console? There is an option on Team > CVS > Console that makes it pop up automatically, also check if 'Quietness level' on Team > CVS > Connection (tab) is set to 'Verbose'.

You're running 3.5.1, have you tried the same thing with Indigo (3.7)?

Hi

The console showed only the same error message as the dialog did.

Meanwhile i have been experimenting a bit and found that i can
import a project with cvs if i choose "extssh" instead of "ext".

But now i am facing another problem: my imported project is not recognized as a C/C++-project (http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/217129/)
